More than likely, you are getting to this blog post by trying to enter our forums. Long story short, as of March 26th, the NRT Forums have become part of our site's history.

The long story...

When we relaunched NRT back in July of 2007, the forums were the centerpiece of what we hoped would be a vibrant community of Christian music fans. We had no expectations. Simple dreams and visions. And we quickly realized that those would become a reality as music fans flooded our new NRTeam community and began to connect using our new site forums. We doubled the size of our forums, we saw hundreds of thousands of posts, we had an entire moderator team and things we're rocking and rolling.

And then MySpace started to die off, quickly replaced by Facebook, and followed by Twitter, and yes, even text messenging. And the way we all communicate with each other seemed to morph overnight with the newest and latest technology, leaving what was once a vibrant and active NRT forum community in the dust faster than we could utter the words, "Hey, remember us?"

Well, don't shed an NRTear for the forums. We've ensured you haven't lost any NRTeam Bonus Points you earned for past activity and we're working on huge changes to the site that will continue to help all of us music fans stay connected. Community is still a major part of our vision and we'll be introducing a lot of new functionality into the site in the coming months that will compliment the changing technology around us.
